5 Logging in to the Latitude 3480 mobile thin client 3 Whatever we view during the turn on or during the reboot of thin client device depends on the configurations done by the administrator. After creating user account, an administrator can configure a user account where a user can either automatically log in or may require user credentials to log in. NOTE: Ensure that you disable the Unified Write Filter (UWF) before changing a password on the thin client and enable the UWF after changing a password on the thin client. To change the password, hold CTRL+ALT+DEL key combination, and then click Change a password. However, this feature is not applicable for the User accounts. Logging in to the Latitude 3480 mobile thin client 5

For detailed instructions on how to configure the screen resolution, go to For more information about setting up multiple monitors, refer Dell documentation. 6 Displays

7 Networks Using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) A thin client is configured to obtain its IP address and network configurations from a DHCP server. The DHCP server provides the IP address or DNS name of the FTP server and the FTP root-path location of the software in Microsoft.msi. This can be used to access the FTP server by using the DHCP upgrade process. It is recommended that you configure and upgrade thin clients by using DHCP, as it saves time and effort to complete the processes locally on multiple thin clients. If a DHCP server is not available, fixed IP addresses can be assigned, which must be entered locally for each thin client. A DHCP server provides the IP address of the WDM server. For more information on remote administration, see WDM software for remote administration Using Domain Name System (DNS) Thin client devices accept valid DNS names registered on a DNS server that is available to the enterprise intranet. The thin client device sends a query to the DNS server on the network to resolve hostnames into IP addresses. DNS allows hosts to be accessed by using the registered DNS names. The Windows DNS server in Windows 2000 and later versions includes Dynamic DNS (DDNS), and each server registers dynamically with the Windows DNS server. For information on DHCP entry of DNS domain and server location, see Using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). 5 Networks 7

8 6 Configuring and using peripherals Peripherals The thin client contains the following ports and slots: SD card reader USB 2.0 port VGA port Security lock AC power RJ45 port HDMI port USB 3.0 port two ports Headset/microphone combo jack To provide the services through the ports, install the appropriate software for the thin client device.
